bookChallenge: Financial Ratio Calculator

When you need to compare companies or evaluate their financial health, calculating financial ratios such as Price-to-Earnings (P/E), Return on Equity (ROE), and Debt-to-Equity is essential. Automating these calculations for multiple companies saves time and reduces errors. Python allows you to process structured financial data efficiently, even when some data points are missing. By handling incomplete data gracefully, you ensure your analysis remains robust and useful.

Task

Swipe to start coding

Implement a function that processes a list of company dictionaries and returns a dictionary of calculated ratios for each company.

  • For each company, calculate the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio as price divided by earnings if both values are present and earnings is not zero.
  • Calculate Return on Equity (ROE) as net_income divided by equity if both are present and equity is not zero.
  • Calculate Debt-to-Equity ratio as debt divided by equity if both are present and equity is not zero.
  • If any required value for a ratio is missing or would cause division by zero, set that ratio to None.
  • Return a dictionary where each key is the company name and each value is a dictionary of the calculated ratios.
